2. Respected by his players and his peers:
P.J. Fleck, who was hired as the head coach in January 2016, was selected by his fellow coaches as Big Ten coach of the year. He coached them to their first 10-win season since 1905 and the first seven-win Big Ten season in program history. The team has a program-best average GPA, as well. Fleck, who’s been a head coach since he started at Western Michigan in 2013, will be returning to Tampa where he was the wide receivers coach in 2012.
With his bald head, colored pants and quarterzip over a shirt and tie, Fleck has led the way for the Gophers with the cry “Row the Boat.” Throughout the season, he’s dropped many cliches and sayings, and he’s led his team on scavenger hunts to help them win games. Fleck’s been referred to as “weird” by The Loop and “flamboyant” by CBS Sports, but no one is denying that he and his team are having fun.
